Winter TBR | Dec/Jan/Feb

What books are on this season’s TBR? Winter is the perfect season to read some big books that have been on my shelves for way too long … I’m also going to do my best in finishing my 2016 Reading Challenge, although with 10 books to go this isn’t an easy task!

It is quite an interesting collection: from Shakespeare’s play to Louise O’Neill’s horrifying fiction about rape culture and from Marquez’s magical master piece to Woolf’s feminist essay.

I own most of these books already, except for Asking For It by O’Neill, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope and Villette by Charlotte Brontë. See you in February for an update!

Hamlet, Act II, Scene 2

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love

For the Love of Books

There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry—
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll—
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human soul!

- by Emily Dickinson (1873)

I am but mad north-northwest. When the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw.
